During 1996, a group of amateur radio operators involved in the communications with the MIR Space Station, decided to join into the "Mir Fan Club". In a very short time over 1200 enthusiasts from all over the world asked to participate, including Cosmonaut Valery Korzun, while leading crew #22. Nowdays MIR is not flying anymore, but here we are again with the same spirit and the same enthusiasm for the ISS, the new International Space Station.

Taxi Crew #4 entered the Station
Zalyotin, De Winne and Lonchakov are now onboard Space Station. Taxi Crew and ISS Crew will work together until November 10 in a very busy week.
Then the next Space Shuttle Endeavour mission STS-113 will change ISS Crew onboard the Station. Launch is scheduled on Nov. 11.
Soyuz TMA-1 docked with the Station
Two minutes ago Soyuz TMA-1 Taxi Crew docked with the International Space Station. All is OK and clearly, before LOS for my station (10 minutes before docking), I heard ISS Crew talking with Soyuz Crew about the approach. All other operations until docking were transmitted on NASA TV.
Click HERE to see images about the docking. Images will be online in a few minutes.
